The Smiling Moose Lodge is perfect for your next getaway. The house sleeps 16 in beds and has plenty of space for the whole family and then some. Mesick is centrally located between Traverse City (Cherry Festival), Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort, Cadillac, and Caberfae Peaks ski resort. The house is conveniently located 1/4 mile off of the ORV trail for snowmobiling, quads and side-by-sides. The Hodenpyl Dam Pond is 3 minutes away and you can enjoy all of nature by canoe, kayak or boat.

After entering through the slate tiled entryway, the house opens up to a large kitchen/dining room. As you walk towards the living room your eyes will naturally look up to the towering 30 foot tongue and groove ceiling and the wall of windows overlooking a portion of the 13 acres the house is set on.
The main floor has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The spacious master bedroom features a king size bed and en suite bathroom with stone shower and claw foot tub. The 2nd bedroom on the main level has a king size bed as well.
In the loft you will find 3 additional bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedroom at the top of the stairs has a queen and a twin bed. Adjacent to the bedroom is a large bathroom with a subway tiled shower and glass enclosure. The loft is another great gathering place! There is a 2nd tv, 2 couches and a ping pong/air hockey table for everyone to enjoy. Bedroom 4 is set up with a queen bed as well as a twin over full bunk. Bedroom 5 is the bunk room with tandem twin bunk beds.

The Smiling Moose Lodge is a fantastic place. My family and I stayed for six days and absolutely loved it. There is a lot of space to spread out if you are traveling with a large group, but cozy enough to bring everyone together. There were 15 of us on our trip and we never felt like we were crowded. The property is large and secluded. We liked how close we were to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear, fishing atv trails and the beach. Staying at a location like this you will never run out of things to do. If you are considering traveling up north, stay here. You won't regret it.

Great log cabin Great location close to snowmobile trail And town

This home had everything promised plus more! Our large family had enough space to play in the yard and have their own personal space if needed. The home was beautiful and very well maintained. Ryan made it very easy for us to enjoy our time since everything was as promised, yet if there was a question, he responded immediately. We are already deciding when to book for next year!!

Stephanie2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

The house was a wonderful spot for our family gathering with plenty of interior space for gatherings and games and exterior space for the kids to play. The house was clean and was well supplied. We appreciated the secluded location but with easy access to surrounding beaches during the week.

Art2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

Our whole family, kids, parents, and grandparents, spent a great 4 days, 3 nights under one roof. This comfortable, very clean and attractive cabin/lodge was large enough to allow us to spread out and not bother each other but also come together for meals and other family time. We enjoyed smores and hobo pies around the fire pit. The log cabin architecture is fascinating. We went to Cadillac, Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes to find things to do outside the house. It was a fun stay and the cousins had a lot of fun with each other.

Nicholas2017-06-22T00:00:00Z

The accommodations were perfect for a vacation with grandparents and grandchildren. Large lot for the kids to run around. Plenty of room around the campfire. It's located in a small town with a grocery store and gas station for convenience; and was within 30-40 miles of popular tourist destinations.

Pam2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, spacious cabin-style home with easy access to local skiing locations. Hosts are flexible, friendly and quick to reply via e-mail, txt-msg or phone. Mesick's local market is well stocked and just a couple of minutes away. Hosts, home and location are A++.

Ralph2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Alex2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience with Mike and Kelly. Not only were they gracious hosts, but they were knowledgeable and helpful when it came to planning our day in Traverse City. The accommodations were spacious and clean. It is hard to beat the beautiful backdrop that is their backyard, and Kelly's home cooked breakfast was delicious. It is without hesitation that I recommend staying at Sugar Meadows.

Beverly2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

The weekend was perfect! The simplicity is what we were looking for! Seaton Creek Getaway in Mesick was great. The walking trail is only a few steps away! You can hear the creek from the house! Found some mushrooms and even ran the 5k at the Mesick Mushroom Festival! My husband and I will be back! Life is good at Seaton Creek!

Debra2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

This was my first experience with Airbnb and our experience was amazing. Jen answered all my questions and made sure there was nothing that we needed/didn't understand. The place was beautiful and the Creek really made the stay that much more beautiful. Me and my 5 girlfriends needed a getaway and Seaton Creek getaway was the definition of exactly what we were looking for. It's very close to town that had one of the coolest bars (for a dive bar) that I've ever been to, and everyone there made us feel like we were at home. I can definitely see us coming back for an annual getaway. Thank you Jen for providing such a relaxing, cozy place for us to escape from reality and enjoy Pure Michigan nature!

Ally2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Jen's Cottage was full of earth friendly amenities such as Organic shampoo, dish soap, washer detergent, even a Alpaca dryer ball that is hypoallergenic that makes your towels and clothes feel so soft and wonderful. Also, I cook 90% of the time for our family due to Allergies and the Kitchen was fully stocked. Glass Plates, cups and bowls, mixing bowls, Stainless steel pans, Wood spoons, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker. I brought our ingredience and was able to cook our meals hassle free. My kids loved the honey sticks shaped like a spoon. Our family really enjoyed the peaceful sound of the creek and the gazebo for reading. One night we even cooked on the BBQ grill that Jen provided brand new with all the utensils and gas free charcoal was the best surprise. The organic cleanliness and fragrant smells of the Cottage along with the creek sounds were wonderfully enticing and we all slept so well. I highly recommend Jen's Place in Mesick Michigan if you need a break and want to unplug from Life's busyness.

Tracy2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

A wonderful get away perfect for quiet relaxation with out the interruptions of the internet, a get place to to relax and enjoy nature with wonderful trails close by that allow for amazing day hikes! My wife, my dog and I had an awesome time exploring the area and we look forward to going back!

Matthew2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Quaint, clean, peaceful place for a getaway. We loved it here and would love to come back. The noise from the stream in the back is so tranquil and calming. Fire pit next to stream and screened room on deck are both a bonus too! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, clean and tidy. Close to hiking trails - Don't hesitate to book this place for your next adventure!

Kimberly2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay! A beautiful and intentional space that really helps you relax and rest. The gazebo was perfect for morning coffee and great for listening to the creek with a book in your hand. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need to cook. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Rori2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

A great getaway!! It's minimalistic with a little charm. The creek is amazing, having all the windows open and falling asleep to the sound of it was the best. And of course that little gazebo that Jen has decorated as a zen getaway, so cute!!! Loved the cabin!

Tucked away in the Manistee Forest along a babbling creek, the Retreat offers adults the perfect escape. Enjoy unlimited peace and quiet in this secluded location on 10 acres adjoining state forest. Have coffee on the back deck listening to the creek, take a nap in a hammock, enjoy the fresh air, build a fire, play games, stretch out in the yoga studio, and reconnect with each other and nature. This is the perfect place to Un-Plug from the responsibilities of life.

Comfortable like-home accommodations with a cozy atmosphere in a beautiful natural setting. Comfortable beds and linens, recently remodeled kitchen, two full baths, 4-seasons porch/Yoga studio overlooking the babbling creek, wood fireplace, large back deck, fire ring, & walking trails. The home will help you "unplug"--No internet, wifi, T.V., cell phones, or other distractions. (Cell phone coverage available on the main road). Quiet and secluded 3 miles down a well maintained dirt road.

10 wooded acres in the Manistee Forest. Friendly, quiet dirt road. 3 miles off M37. The Seaton Creek is a trout stream which runs through the back yard and empties into the Manistee River. Campground is at the end of the street where the trailhead is to the Manistee River Trail ($5 cash parking permit strongly enforced)

Amanda was a great host. She was proactive with communication. The home was comfortable and very well decorated. The location was quaint and close to some beautiful northern Michigan backwoods. If the weather doesn't lend itself to outdoor activities, the place is perfect for relaxing and curling up to a book or driving up to Traverse City.

Dwight2015-05-31T00:00:00Z

The cabin was just what the photos showed and the area was awesome, fall colors in full color.

Jan2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

The house was amazing! Super quiet and very comfortable! And super relaxing! Thanks Amanda :)

Henning2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

This place is exactly as portrayed. I never got to meet Amanda, but she provided all of the information I needed to get in and oriented. The location is generally good. It is down a dirt road, which was a bit of a challenge in the dark. We loved that we could go to Sleeping Bear and Traverse City pretty easily. Though we didn't cook, it has everything necessary to prepare lots of meals. We did build a fire in the fire pit outside and made smores. Yum! No WIFI nor access to data on our phones - but that is part of the retreat. Just don't expect to keep up with the outside world.

George2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

The listing was as described or even better. Very clean and well organized. The kitchen was well equipped. It was a pleasure corresponding with Amanda on questions/ queries and she was very fast in her responses. The location was very peaceful and quiet. The bubbling sound of the small stream in the backyard was very soothing. Would certainly consider staying again.

Rajesh2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Beautiful view, large space to walk and connect to nature. Clean, well equipped. No internet, and almost no cell reception. Great place to disconnect.

Meli2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

The place is amazing and just as described! The grounds are beautiful and I am in love with the creek right outside the door. My son loved the creek (as did my dog) and being so close to hiking trails was amazing. We enjoyed yoga in the sun room and left feeling relaxed and centered. We should have brought extra blankets to cover the furniture from the dog hair and we endured an extra cleaning fee as a result, which we happily paid as it was our error. Amanda was gracious when discussing the issues at the end and all was resolved without issue. Would definitely recommend and would visit again in the future.

Samantha2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend at Amanda's place, it was great to be able to unplug from the 'real' world for a couple days! The house was great, exactly as described and the location even better, the creek right off the back deck was amazing!

伟大的地方,与一个伟大的主机。易驱特拉弗斯市。

Ted2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

We highly recommend the spacious king suite. Our family rented the entire B&B for a week (swapping out sides of the family mid-way). It made for some chaos and Linda was extremely gracious in accommodating our many needs including cleaning the rooms for the new arrivals. The highlight of our stay was the breakfasts! Fresh ground coffee, fresh hash browns, outstanding muffins...each day Linda outdid herself. The sausage gravy was the best I've ever tasted. She is certainly an expert breakfast-maker and was kind enough to hand-write several of her wonderful muffin recipes for me. We enjoyed the country setting and convenient location as it is central to many northern MI activities. The wrap around porch was a lovely feature and we enjoyed watching the sun set over the fields. This older home has stairs that are quite narrow and steep. They were no trouble at all for our 3.5 and 5.5 year old, but if you are planning to stay with small children, I would recommend staying in the suite, which is on the ground floor. Thank you Linda for bending over backward for us!

Charming entire home, within 20 minutes of Traverse City and Crystal Mountain Resort. Peaceful, quiet setting to relax after visiting Lake Michigan, or the Sand Dunes. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families. We have Wifi, and a television, but we do not have Cable. Large Firepit. If you wish to watch TV, it will either be via DVD player, or you may use your own Netflix, etc., If you are looking for a relaxing, tranquil setting, this is the place!

We have a large fire pit to sit under the stars and enjoy the wooded setting. There is also a gas grill onsite for your use.

The house is located on a 10 acre hardwood parcel. The closest neighbors are across the road and unseen from the home. Although it is a rural, wooded setting, it is also a short drive to Traverse City, Lake Michigan, and many other local favorite locations to visit. Its a perfect setting to end the day with for rest and peace.

Holly's place was great! The house was super private, surrounded by trees so you can't see any neighbors around. It was very comfortable and I felt like I would be happy there for an extended stay. I loved everything about the place. There was also plenty of firewood for the bonfire

Suhail2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Great place! Holly was quick to respond to any questions. It was clean and had a great view! 30 minute drive to Traverse city! We had a great time!

Amazing weekend with my boyfriend as we finished up our semester at college! Highly recommend this relaxing getaway!

Rachel2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a place to getaway this is perfect. This rustic, inviting cabin is situated along a lovely country road far enough away from tourists but close enough to experience beautiful Traverse City or even Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Kendra2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

Oh my goodness not only is the house beautiful but every room in it was perfect! We almost didn't want to go skiing because it was so cozy. Thank you so much for the Ethernet cords and perfectly guest ready rooms. We absolutely loved it, and the price of 40$ (80/per night) per person for the whole weekend was perfect for the 4 of us! Will definitely stay here again

Megan2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

The house is a little out of the way in a beautiful wooden area. The water is well water, so I would suggest bringing plenty of bottled water or water from home for drinking and for making coffee and tea. The furnishings are pretty basic but comfortable. The heating works very well so you won’t be cold. We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked, so you just need your basic toiletries and whatever food you are planning on cooking. Holly had coffee and coffee filters when we were there. There was also oil and plenty of spices.

Gema2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Very quiet, private atmosphere. 25 minutes to traverse city for dining or in our case supplies. Grill available for cookouts, and fire pit. Full appliances and dishes for eating at home- took advantage of full kitchen. Both bedrooms upstairs- but not an issue for us. Good wi-fi available, no tele. Was a plus for us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lisa2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

We would highly recommend staying at this lovely secluded house in the woods. It provides all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay and is an ideal place to use as a staging post to visit the beautiful sites around Lake Michigan.

Enjoy fresh air, the sound of birds and the wind in the pines. I don't have a TV but there is wireless internet access available for your devices. Guest rooms and bathroom sit on one side of common areas, my room and bath are on the other.

I live on a country road with decent space. Depending on the time of your stay, you are likely to hear peepers, crickets, and even a distant coyote or owl. It's also a great place for bird watching and stargazing. Even though there are few neighbors, sound does travel here, so please be respectful and keep noise at a reasonable level, especially after 11 pm.

Cathye's beautiful home is the perfect spot for anyone wanting to explore this scenic part of Michigan, or simply for anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway! Cathye provided the most dependable and thorough communication I have ever received on Airbnb and ensured all of our needs were met. Her home is very comfortable, quiet, artistically decorated, and peaceful. The location is remote, however, this is exactly what my family was looking for. It allowed for such a peaceful setting with amazing bird watching and no city noise. The location is very convenient for exploring Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. Cathye had coffee and breakfast items for us, extra towels and sheets, suggestions for local attractions, etc. The beds in her home are incredibly comfortable as well! Would highly recommend Cathye's beautiful home for anyone visiting this part of Michigan!

Chris2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed a quiet and comfy stay at Cathye's home. Cathy was easy to communicate with and helpful in every way. I would definitely recommend her.

Cathye's place is a charming, well-maintained home deep in the forest of Northern Michigan, surrounded by beautiful flowers, including the most extravagant hydrangeas I've ever seen. Her cat, named Cat, looks after your wellbeing when Cathye is away. A great base camp for explorations in wine country (to the north) or dunes country (to the west).

Roxi & Mark's place is a litter slice of heaven out in the country but close enough to Traverse City, Sleepy Bear Dunes and all the marvels of N Michigan. Their house is a bounty of arts that make a picturesque quiet farmhouse from the late 1800s into a museum. The upstairs bedroom is very spacious and the large bathroom with a full tub was very welcoming. I will definitely come back again and again.

Zofia2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

This place was pretty awesome, serene, and relaxing! Roxi and Mark were very friendly, laid back, accommodating, and fun. They made us feel right at home. The décor of the room and bathroom was fun and eclectic. The house was very cool. We could come and go as we pleased. The only reason I didn't give five stars was because of the bathing situation which involved a tub bath without a shower curtain, in front of a window, with a shower type hose that tended to spray all over when used. Bathing with the window there and lack of shower curtain was somewhat awkward. But if you like a tub bath, it is a perfect situation! That aside, we very much enjoyed our visit!

Alyssa2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Roxi and Mark's place was neat, clean, accessible, and safe. Checking-in was as hassle-free as checking out.... perfect for an overnighter! So glad to have found their listing; grateful that they've accepted my last-minute request. Cool hosts!!

Lili2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Nice, comfortable place to stay out in the country, but close enough to Traverse City and other places nearby. Very communicative and accommodating hosts, and friendly dogs to boot. :)

John2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed here for a night as part of our babymoon. The upstairs is very sweet with lots of interesting antiques to look at. Bed is comfy (a little too small for us, but I'm 7 months pregnant and need lots of space, so I'm biased) The views are beautiful. We fell asleep to the sound of crickets and night birds. Roxi and Mark are really chill, very accommodating and friendly. The dogs are friendly, too. Well worth the price.

Erica2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

They were very helpful and friendly through the entire stay. Very welcoming as well. I would definitely recommend this couple to others needed a place to stay for a night or 2.

Chris2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Mark and roxi are very friendly and helpful. The room is cozy and comfortable. The bathroom large and full of antiques. We enjoyed the staying. Recommended for all.

5000sf lodge on 20 acres, perfect for a large or multiple family getaway. Private setting with pond, trails and gardens. Located in Kingsley, MI, close to both the Manistee & Boardman Rivers and a short 30 min drive to TC.

Sprawling 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom lodge nestled among the trees on a very private 20 acres. House has a very large floor plan with several living/sleeping areas which helps if you have a large group. The Main Floor consists of a Great Room, Dining room, Kitchen, 2 large Bedrooms(one is handicap accessible), a Bunk room, 2 full bathrooms(one with huge jetted soaking tub, the other (handicap accessible) with zero-entry shower and dry sauna), workout room and laundry. The Chefs kitchen has double ovens, ceramic cook top, butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances and all the necessities. Dining table will easily seat 12 and the breakfast bar/kitchen has seating for 6. The second floor has the Master bedroom, 4th bedroom, a loft area and another full bathroom with double sinks and a steam shower. Outside there are multiple decks with separate lounging areas, a six-person hot tub, and a gas grill. A fire pit area is a few steps off the main deck and large front lawn is a perfect to gather or for lawn games.

This is a private home on 20 acres, surrounded by over 500 acres of forest preserves. Plenty of space to explore, whether on the massive front lawn, down by the beaver pond, or on various trails throughout the property and woods. Located in rural Kingsley, we are just 30 minutes South of downtown Traverse City and 25 minutes North of Cadillac. Access to both the Manistee and Boardman Rivers is close by as well as the scenic High Rollway and North Country Trail. Historic downtown Kingsley is a mere 5 minute drive away and has a grocery store with pharmacy and gas station, diner/ice cream shop, pizza place, public library, a park with playground and "splash pad" and our Civic Center that offers baseball/softball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, children play ground, an archery range, skating rink(in Winter), a walking trail, full service pavilion, and an 18 hole disc golf course!

We had the most wonderful time at Forest Lodge! With such a large group (16 people total) in one place, we weren't sure how it would all work out, but we were all very comfortable! And the kids had epic games of hide and seek in the house, and capture the flag on the beautiful grounds. The grown ups very much enjoyed grilling on the deck, the hot tub and lots of lounging around. And the proximity to Traverse City was perfect for our day out exploring. Deb was an exceptional host - she went way out of her way to make us happy and comfortable. We loved it!

This house worked great for our big family gathering. The house lacked for nothing. Kitchen was well stocked with all sorts of tools, appliances, and cookware. We loved the big table and living room for evening gathering, and the deck was awesome. We enjoyed the big yard for soccer games and liked walking the trails through the woods. The shower upstairs was great, and the massage chair was in high demand. The sofa beds in the loft, not so much and are best reserved for kids. It is out in the sticks, which made it very quiet at night, but a short drive into TC and an easy drive to sleeping bear. Great fishing in the Boardman River only a short drive away. We loved out stay and would return again when we need to house the whole clan.

We stayed at the Forest Lodge for a week - 13 of us. The house itself was fantastic. All the bedrooms were quite roomy, and the kids loved the room with the 4 bunk beds (it was more of a hallway than a room, but the kids didn't care). There are several bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs (with a 3rd room having 2 sofa couches). The master bedroom did have a/c, but the other two rooms didn't seem to have it. There is a fire pit outside, which we utilized multiple times along with a nice grill for bbq. Deb was very helpful in answering any questions we had. I had a 20 minute chat with her before we arrived at the house and she provided me a lot of information on the area and advice that was greatly appreciated. When we got to the house, she left us brochures for the region, wine, and delicious cherry bbq sauce (and much more that I won't list here). If we ever go back with such a large group, I would not hesitate getting this house again from Deb & Trevor!

House was great plenty of room and very comfortable

This place was AMAZING! What a beautiful winter retreat for us. The pond was so much fun for the kids to ice skate and play hockey. Close to Traverse City and ice fishing lakes. Deb was always available to help and answer questions. Top notch...we hope to come back next year!

My weekend at the Forest Lodge was awesome. We had 10 guys for a long weekend. Everyone fit comfortably. The space is amazing. The outdoor patio and lawn allowed is to be outside all weekend. Would highly recommend this house for anything who is looking to get away and be one with nature. It was so quiet and peaceful. It was also so easy to get to Traverse City as well which was really nice. Deb is a great host as well. Communication with me was easy. If I ever find myself back in the area, I would definitely call Deb again.

This beautiful house is a Bird Lovers Paradise in beautiful northern Michigan, located on five and a half acres on the western shore of Duck Lake with 160 feet of lake frontage and 1.5 miles to the world renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts.

Host was attentive to our arrival and offered his assistance if needed. House exceeded expectations. Area was private and quiet - very relaxing.

Beautiful and rustic. Great location. Accommodations were very comfortable and exactly what we wanted.

3 bedroom home with cozy fireplace. The walkout basement features a large bedroom with a king size bed. The other rooms feature queen size beds. There are 2 futons for additional occupants. Open kitchen with counter seating supplements dining table seating. Dishes, pots, pans and utensils, along with coffee maker and microwave as part of kitchen. The Betsie River flows through the backyard year round. Salmon runs during the fall. Snowmobiles have access to state trails directly from the property. Crystal Mountain resort is nearby for local skiing and golfing. Located near several Lake Michigan Beaches and Traverse City. Interlochen families enjoy the house during family days, registrations and graduations!

Close access to nature is the rear highlight of this property. The 231 foot frontage of the Betsie River flowing through the property and access to state trails are the most important aspects.
Snowmobile, kayak rentals are nearby. Crystal Mountain skiing and golfing is also nearby! You can snowmobile or kayak out the back door! Perfect for Interlochen families - only 20 minutes away! Great place to stay during the Traverse City Cherry Festival and Film Festival too!

The house was in a great location for traveling to Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort and Glen Arbor. The house itself was adorable and perfect for our family of 5. Hadley was accommodating by allowing us to bring our pets who require medication twice a day. The yard is open with a fire pit down by the river, which we enjoyed ! We will definitely be looking forward to coming back !

This quaint and cozy cabin is surrounded by beautiful trees which makes it feel quite private. We had 4 girls in our group for a fun girls weekend. We felt the set up of the cabin lent itself well to mingling together in the morning and having a glass of wine together in the evening when we returned from our adventures. We were within a half an hour of SBD area and found that the location was pretty convenient for taking advantage of all of those Pure Michigan experiences.

Jeane2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

We stayed at this home for 3 nights for a getaway fishing trip and had a great time. The cabin sits right on the betsie river and has a beautiful yard. The interior was very bright and clean. The location is very secluded. We hope to come back in the summer!

Brian2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Hadley's place! Our kids enjoyed catching minnows and crayfish in the river. There is also a lot to do in the area. Our favorite adventures were kayaking with (Jeff) Crystal adventures and sleepy bear dunes.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was well furnished and quite spacious with 3 bedrooms. We loved the rustic furniture and decor. The backyard is enveloped by the Betsie river and surrounded by a pleasant grove of trees. The hosts were kind enough to stock up the house (not just the refrigerator but also board games, etc). We received precise instructions on how to get there (and get in). I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay for a few days. 5 stars all the way through.

Karthik2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

The house is right on the Betsie River and within driving distance for day visits to Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Leelanau pennisula, and Traverse City. The house is furnished nicely, and has lots of extras around (like bug spray, which you will need for any time in the morning or evening). Hadley was really responsive; this was important since we had a couple of minor issues with a smoke detector and the hot water heater. This is spacious enough for 3 couples, easy!

KimandWendy2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

We were a family of 4 travelling from England to see our friends who live in Detroit. As part of our holiday we stayed at the Betsie River Retreat together with our fiends. We were 8 people in total. I could see from the photos that the property and location were both beautiful. What I couldn't see from the photos was that we would receive a warm welcome from the owner and the neighbours and that the property was much bigger and better than the photos suggested. Northern Michigan is fabulous and the house was perfectly situated to allow us to explore everything we wanted to. I am very grateful to Hadley and his family for allowing us to stay in their lovely house. I will be recommending this place to my friends and hope to one day return again. Thanks to Hadley and family.

Beautiful Vacation Home, Really enjoyed our stay. 6 adults very comfortable. House super clean lots of room. Everything in the house is like new. Felt like I really got to know them staying in their vacation home. Was about 20 minutes away from Interlochen Arts Academy, perfect attending last week of School Festival Week and Graduation. Highlights include a campfire on the riverfront our last night. Great memories for sure. Would definitely recommend this host and this property- A+++
